Frequently asked questions

What software is standard?

Revit MEP and Navisworks are mandatory. Trade-specific add-ons (CAD-Duct, Victaulic Tools for Revit, eVolve) are strong pluses.

Remote options?

VDC is one of the most remote-friendly disciplines in mechanical construction. Many Seattle clients support fully remote BIM coordinators and modelers.

Do I need MEP background?

Strongly preferred. We focus on candidates with commercial mechanical, plumbing, or piping BIM experience — not general architectural Revit.

Do Seattle-based contractors send crews to Quincy and Moses Lake?

Yes — the Central Washington data center corridor draws heavily from Seattle-area mechanical contractors. Roles frequently include per-diem, rotational schedules, or full relocation packages.
